Stubborn... The Whicker Way.

The little man definitely has some of his Daddy in him... Mason is showing me early on that he is the boss around here! (Which Nate thinks he is as well, it will be interesting to have two bossy boys around my house!) And yes, my bossy little man does have this onesie. It was a must have.

Yeah, Mason's not budging. We aren't "Fort Knox" anymore as my doctor told me, (Haha... So funny to hear a doctor be so sarcastic! I love it!) but we aren't getting anywhere quickly either. So as of right now, we will be heading to the hospital at 6:00pm on Sunday, December 20th to get started with all their baby enticing magic tricks. That's only eight days after his due date... Not too bad, right?! Haha. I am sure I'll be begging by then! So for now folks, that's where we stand! Here's to hoping the new little boss will want to come earlier just to prove he can!

6 days, and counting.

Let the countdown begin. Mason's "official" due date is in six days. Yes, six. I have to tell myself that multiple times a day as it gets closer... A baby will be here soon! It's crazy to think about, but man am I ready to be a more normal person again! Plus, Nate only asks me on a daily basis when I am going to let Mason come out and play, as if I am keeping him here for fun at this point!

Unfortunately, my son is stubborn. As of last week, he had no intentions of going anywhere. So, here I wait. My last day of work will be Tuesday. I am excited to spend some time at home catching up on all the things I am too tired to do after work at night. I am hoping that my appointment this week will come bearing excellent news so that I can have the option to be induced sometime next weekend. If no progress is still where we sit after that appointment, I am stuck until I am at least 41 weeks (which will be the 19th, or 20th), when Ma Kay Dee will "assist" me in coaxing Mason out with whatever magic they have in store. Dr. Boheen promised she wouldn't make me stay pregnant forever, and that he would definitely be here by Christmas. We'll just bring him home in the stocking Nate was brought home in 23 years before! (This isn't Nate, his stocking picture is taped up here on my computer... But it is this cute!)

In response to my son's already stubborn nature, I have decided to issue him this eviction notice. I had Nate read this and it cracked him up, so here we are. I have always been one to share!

"I am issuing 7 day notice for EVICTION. Tenant will have 7 days in which he can either gather his belongings and promptly vacate the premises, or wait until the final day. After which, he will be physically removed from the property. He's being evicted due to breech of contract and destruction of property. Expansions only to the FRONT of the house, within reasonable limits, were discussed. Not only have these limits been exceeded, but additions to the back of the house were also made! Remodeling and gutting of the home was never approved, nor was changing the initial layout and base structure. And due to property damage, there are now leaks in both the upper AND lower levels of the home. On top of which, the landlord has received numerous complaints about nightly disturbances. After 7 days from this day that he doesn’t comply with the notice will result in immediate and forceful removal at my discretion."

Hopefully everyone has a wonderful week... Don't worry readers, (because I know there are droves of you!) I won't keep you hanging. Especially since I will soon have some optimal blogging time on my hands waiting for the little man. Check back for updates :)
